So tell me if I'm crazy

[Ckanderson]

Since selling the supra i've been hurting for a car to work on. I get insane discounts on parts and want to put them to use! I've been thinking about picking up a volvo 740 or 240 wagon, or sedan, turbo. It's a 4 cyl with a t3 turbo. with about 1500 into it it will do 300 to the wheels. it would be a daily driver, cause I wanna keep the low miles on the benzo.

The cars sell in running condition for about 500 dollars.

Am i crazy?

A guy I go to school with drives one (the wagon) in gray... he says he takes it to the track every now and then. It's kind of loud, but seems like a nice car overall.

Shit, for $500, I'd pick it up. I've seen those wagons at the track do some nasty times smoking everyone. It's a true sleeper.

that's a wicked station!!!:icon_bigg
any running vehicule is worth $500. let alone a turbo volvo!!
question is , what little things need to be fixed on the car!!

Just get an Audi S4 and call it done.

 

[Ckanderson]

Do it! RWD volvos are the shit.

Volvo 740's are sick. I've seen some videos of them with big turbos! They are insane. I want one.
